UNITED DETERMINED TO SHINE BRIGHTLY
If Craig Levein’s team win the race for third place, Dundee United will be playing their UEFA Cup ties at Tannadice next season (writes Tom Duthie).
United confirmed today that, should they finish ahead of Motherwell and Hibs, work to bring their lights up to scratch would be undertaken.

Since United last tasted European football in 2005, UEFA have raised the minimum standards for stadium lighting, but that is something the Tannadice board are very well aware of.

The cost of the necessary work to improve the floodlights is being identified.

Work has been pencilled in to start shortly after the season ends — should third place be secured.

“We are aware that the UEFA lux requirements are now higher than those of the Scottish Premier League and the matter is being addressed,” commented a Dundee United club spokesman.
